Futagawa-shuku Honjin Museum, Former honjin museum in Toyohashi, Japan
Description
The Futagawa-shuku Honjin Museum is a former inn in Toyohashi where feudal lords and high-ranking officials stayed during their travels. The building preserves original artifacts and shows the structure of this important rest station on the Tokaido road.
History
The inn was built in 1807 and served as an official stopping place for high-ranking travelers until the Meiji period began. As the culture of travel along the Tokaido declined, it lost its original purpose.
Culture
The building shows how important travelers were accommodated during the Edo period, with rooms that reflected their high status. You can see how the architecture and furnishings expressed the hierarchy and formality of that time.
Practical
The museum is located about one kilometer east of Futagawa Station and is reachable on foot. It is worth allowing enough time to explore the different rooms and exhibits thoroughly.
Did you know?
The building is one of only two surviving original structures of its kind from the Edo period, making it a rare example. A similar structure exists only in Kusatsu, which gives this building special significance.
